I need to investigate if this is a seesaw pull-ups issue or something else.

I noticed the Neopixel on my Feather M4 goes red when it does this. Also if I plugged into non-data USB power and then plug into computer USB, it is still red and behaves this way. This might go deeper and possibly be a CP bug. I'll connect a debugger to my Feather (It's modded) and look into that.

mine stays green when i remove code for neopixel to be off

Ok thanks @hexthat, I'll throw the latest beta on there. mine might be a wee bit behind.

[makermelissa]

Nope, still doing the red thing with Beta 7 for me.

[hexthat]

that is strange, why would they be different between boards?

[makermelissa]

Also, I'm using the simpletest since the behavior seems to be there too.

[hexthat]

okay ill try that

[hexthat]

neopixel still green for me, even when plugged into power source not PC

dargh im gana put older cp on it then try new beta 7 again

[makermelissa]

Oh and I'm not using your SPI modification. I'm using it as it is in the repo.

[makermelissa]

FYI, I just tried on a different feather and it's green.

[hexthat]

oh i was about to think it was cause i changed the CS and DC pins, good to know that wasnt it

[makermelissa]

Fixed via #39.
